A Note for Adult Visitors
Several of the properties in this guide contain areas restricted to adults. This page sets out how the guide treats those areas, what it does and does not advise, and where the rules that actually apply are to be found.
Age-restricted areas: where they exist, and how they sit apart
Several of the properties in this guide contain areas that are restricted to adults. These are the casino floors: the game rooms and the tables, which by the rules of the places where they operate are open only to visitors of a certain age. The guide names them where they are part of the property's character, and does not speculate about them where they are not.
Where an age-restricted floor exists, it sits apart from the guest floors. The hotel rooms, the dining areas and the public space are open to the whole stay, and the restricted area is a separate floor or wing with its own entrance, its own signposting and its own set of rules. A guest can stay at the property and use nothing on that floor, and the guide treats the two as different things.
The guide does not describe the restricted areas in detail beyond what the property's own listing states. It notes that they exist, that they are restricted, and that the property's rules govern access. That is the whole of the treatment, and it is deliberate.
A property with an adult floor is a property first; the floor is one amenity among many.
Why an age-restricted floor is one amenity among many, not the headline
A property with an adult-only floor is, first and last, a property. It has rooms, it has dining, it has public space and it sits in a setting. The guide writes it up as one of the nine entries in the guide, in the same structure as the others, and the restricted floor is noted where it belongs in that structure, not where it would get the most attention.
Leading with the restriction would misdescribe the place. A reader who came for a stay needs to know the rooms and the setting, not to be sold a floor they may never enter. The guide's job is to describe the property as a whole, and the headline of an entry is the property, not one of its amenities.
The same restraint applies to the photography. The cards show the building, the grounds and the public face of the property. The restricted floor is not the subject of an image, and the entry does not invite the reader to look at it more closely than the property itself would.
The guide names what is there and stops there. The decision is the visitor's.
Personal limits belong to the visitor
This site does not advise on, encourage or deter any choice a visitor makes at a property. It describes what is there, and the decision about how much of it to use is entirely the visitor's. The entries contain no persuasion in either direction, and none is intended.
The guide does not set a limit for the reader, and it does not pretend to know one. It names the restricted areas where they exist, notes that they are governed by the property's rules and by local law, and stops there. What a visitor chooses to do within those rules is not the site's business.
That is also why the entries carry no rating and no ranking of the amenities. A place that has a casino floor is not better for having one, and a place that does not is not worse. The guide describes, and the visitor decides.
The rules that apply at a property are the property's own, read with the law of the place.
Where to find each property's own rules
The rules that apply at a property are the ones the property itself sets, read together with the law of the place where it stands. They are posted at the property, they are stated on its official listing, and they are the ones that govern a visit. The guide does not restate them in full and does not take it upon itself to interpret them.
If a detail matters to your stay, the official listing page is where to check it: the age rules, the house policies, the current amenities and the current state of the building. The listing is maintained by the property and changes with it, and it is the authority the guide defers to on every card.
The guide's own role is the one stated on every page of it: independent, informational, and separate from any of the properties it describes. It does not operate, endorse or stand in for any of them, and the rules of each property are the property's own.
The listing page is maintained by the property and is the authority the guide defers to.
